Decorating your stoep and garden for a summer Christmas
A summer Christmas in KwaZulu-Natal means long afternoons on the stoep. Start with a simple string of warm lights along the railing and a few potted plants by the steps. Tie a natural wreath to the gate so guests see it first.
Hang glass baubles from a low branch in the garden, and set a small wooden tree on the outdoor table. Keep everything in the shade so the colours last. Bring the delicate pieces inside at night, especially when afternoon storms roll in.
TREATS
Start with what you already have. Gather the baubles, ribbons and cards you keep from past years and lay them out on a table. Pick the pieces that still make you smile. Then add one or two new things, such as a hand-painted bauble or a small star, to give the tree a fresh look this season.
Gifts do not have to be big to be remembered. A small hamper with rusks, biltong and a jar of preserve says plenty. Think about what the person enjoys on a slow Sunday and build the box around that. Add a short note in your own handwriting. It costs nothing and it is the part people keep.

Festive Treats
Wrapping is half the gift. Use plain kraft paper, a length of jute twine and a sprig of rosemary or a dried flower from the garden. It looks lovely, costs little and can be recycled. If time is short, our Pinetown shop will wrap your order and tuck in a handwritten card for you.

ORNAMENTS
Corporate gifting works best when it is personal. Ask your team who likes coffee, who prefers sweet treats and who would love something for the home. Build a few hamper options and let people choose. We can add your company name on a card and deliver to offices across Durban, Pinetown and Westville in one trip.
Working from home can feel lonely in December. A small gift shows a colleague they are on your mind. Try a tin of shortbread, a scented candle or a box of local teas. Keep the budget under R200 so nobody feels awkward. Send it straight to their door and add a short thank you for the year.
